Take what you're interested in (Score 1)

First I wanted to address this elitism I'm sensing from some CE people in here. I've been working in the computer industry for 10 yrs now and graduated as a CS major. Currently I'm doing embedded systems development writing low level diagnostic code for our devices. I work very closely with the hardware and you know what the transition from high level programming to low level hardware interfacing was NOT difficult at all. In fact all of the guys (with the exception of one guy who is an EE) who are doing the embedded work are CS majors. Of course I had to put in my time and read the manuals, download the specs, constantly refer to the blue book for the particular processor we're using etc. but it was not some fsckin genius level stuff that only a CE person could understand. It only took patience, work and interest, with interest being the key to it all. So to answer the main question, take what you're interested in right at this moment because as you go through life you're interests will change and if you're reasonably intelligent (like most geeks are) and patient and open to learning new things thing you can move in which ever direction those interests take you.
